At Allure Realty we aim to achieve the highest possible rental return in the shortest amount of time on the market. Renting a property quickly can be hard if your property isn’t priced correctly and in good condition.

There are a few factors that we take into consideration to determine the correct market price:

Demand –What kind of properties are in demand at the moment? This can be seasonal and depend on a variety of factors.

Availability –What properties are on the market at the moment? If what is in demand is in short supply you can achieve a higher rent.

Market Comparison –What are they being rented for at the moment? We compare your property against the rental market to determine an ideal price, taking into account the location and any extra features your property might have.

These factors allow us to give you enough information to set the right rent for your property.

We will also report all feedback from prospective tenants back to you.

No specific time frame came be given; however if you meet market conditions, if your property is priced correctly, in good condition, you have decent photos for marketing and a proactive agent representing your property, it will be rented quicker.

It is recommended you take out Building Insurance and also Landlords’ Insurance.

Building Insurance covers you for unexpected events that damage your building, such as fire, storm and flood.

Landlords’ Insurance covers you for Tenant-related risks including loss of rental income, death of a tenant and damage by Tenants to your building and contents.

You can sell your property during a tenancy however if you list your property within the first 2 months of a tenancy starting, the Tenant has the option of ending the agreement with only 2 weeks notice.

• In a fixed agreement, the Landlord cannot make the Tenant leave because they decide to sell the property. The Tenant can stay until the end of the term, and the new owner will become the new Landlord.
• If the Tenant is on a Periodic Agreement, and the Landlord requires vacant possession, they must give the Tenant 2 months notice to vacate, or upon signing the contract of sale, the Tenant must have at least 4 weeks notice to vacate.

Changing Agents is easy. All you have to do is fill out the contact form or contact us directly. We will then arrange the correct documentation for you to complete and handle the rest on your behalf.
